Ten people were injured when a Lego display fell into a crowd during a New Year’s Eve event in Massachusetts, firefighters said.
The incident occurred during an indoor balloon launch at In The Game, an arcade and restaurant, in Peabody, about 2 miles west of Salem.
The family-friendly event aimed to celebrate the New Year by launching balloons from a net from the ceiling at noon on Tuesday. A video on the arcade’s Facebook page showed preparations for the festivities.
A Lego display erected on a 12-foot-high ledge inside the building collapsed and fell onto the crowd below, Peabody Fire Department Chief John Dowling told NBC News.
Ten spectators (four adults and six children) were injured with minor cuts and scrapes, he said, adding: “Everyone is fine.”
Four of the injured were transported to Salem Hospital and four to Lahey Medical Center, and two others refused to be transported.
